Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 48th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on 29 April 2025 at 07:30 PM IST. Delhi Capitals Delhi Capitals suffered a disappointing 6-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last outing. DC posted 162 for 8 in their first innings with the help of KL Rahul's 41 and Tristan Stubbs' brilliant 34-run finish. Later, RCB chased it down with 6 wickets, Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya scoring their half-centuries to seal a comfortable victory. This was the third defeat in 9 matches for Delhi Capitals, they are currently placed fourth on the IPL 2025 points table. Kolkata Knight Riders Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, would be disappointed as their last match against Punjab Kings got washed out due to heavy rains. Before this match, they had lost their previous two matches in a row. They are currently placed 7th in the IPL 2025 points table with just 3 wins. Their chances of making it to the playoff qualifications are slim but they would aim to give their best going forward in the tournament and seal victories in remaining matches. Pitch Report The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium is poised to offer help for batters. The match can be a run fest and is expected to help batters in the second innings as the pitch mostly remains flat and doesn't offer help to bowlers except for good-length balls. The teams will be eager to field first after winning the toss here because the first innings total at this venue is 196.5, which always favours the team who bats first.
